About Mimi

Meet Mimi! Mimi's world shifted when she and her dear friend, Nueva, arrived at Heartland after their previous human companions had to move. This lovely brown tabby is gradually adjusting to her new surroundings, slowly learning that there are kind people who want to help her feel safe and loved. A bit shy, Mimi takes her time getting to know new people. You may see her peeking out from a cozy hiding spot at first, but with patience and gentle encouragement in a quiet home, her sweet personality will start to shine. Once she feels secure, you'll be rewarded with the trust of a truly special companion. Mimi needs an adopter who understands that building a relationship takes time. If you're looking for a gentle soul who requires a little extra love, she's ready to begin her next chapter. Plus, Mimi would love to continue her journey with her best friend, Nueva. Having supported each other through their transitions, they are eager to face the future together. Mimi is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Mimi and Nueva are currently at Heartland in Wheeling, IL. Visit us Thursday through Sunday to meet them! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
